Yet according to Justin Barrett and Pamela Ebstyne King it can be a powerful tool for understanding human nature and our distinctively human purpose. \u003ci\u003eThriving with Stone Age Minds\u003c\/i\u003e provides an introduction to evolutionary psychology, explaining key concepts like hyper-sociality, information gathering, and self-control. Combining insights from evolutionary psychology with resources from the Bible and Christian theology, Barrett and King focus fresh attention on the question, \u003ci\u003eWhat is human flourishing?\u003c\/i\u003e When we understand how humans still bear the marks of our evolutionary past, new light shines on some of the most puzzling features of our minds, relationships, and behaviors. One key insight of evolutionary psychology is how humans both adapt to and then alter our environments, or \"niches.\" In fact, we change our world faster than our minds can adapt—and then gaps in our \"fitness\" emerge.
